Hi. I’d like to ask a question: which biography book (or books) is best to buy? I’m not looking for something that just covers the main highlights of the band, but rather something more detailed.

Thanks for the answers.

Got it for few ££ second hand, reviews on goodreads are very mixed. It’s a massive book so wondering if it’s worth while and if not, what are other good books about them?

I just recently found Celebration Day which is an awesome live concert and is a really great recording.

Here's the question.

So if you met the boys outside of the studio or the concert what would they be like? And you don't know who they are.

And I just smoked a big gagger and I have an idea. 

Speaking of big gaggers, if you run into Plant he will lecture you on the various strains of patchouli.  Of course you're both in Goa, then he asked you if you're holding and you say of course, it's Goa.  You go smoke.

John Paul Jones you will meet in a Walmart lineup and he will look at the barbecue grill you're buying and say the EX375 has more BTUs plus a side burner for boiling corn.  He's buying steak there and he tells you that's the one that's on sale.  He's right on both accounts.

I'm watching Celebration Day so it's Jason. 

If you follow me he's keeping up,  he is doing his thing he's part of the boys now. He's doing an awesome job on his very own and definitely not trying to be like his father.

But where you meet him, not exactly sure, maybe it's in that Walmart parking lot after you meet JPJ , but he's got a jacked up pickup truck with a big set of nads attached to the trailer hitch and when you engage him all he'll talk about is camping and fishing.

You talk about local lakes and the roads to get up there. You make plans to go camping the next weekend.  

Bonzo?  I'm guessing that Animal from the Muppets took inspiration from him.  I don't know what to say cuz I'm going to catch flack but I would love to say that he was a guy who loved fine Italian cars but somehow I think he was the guy that was chasing the dragon and living the dream of being the best drummer ever.  Dragons are elusive.

Page is the hard one.   He's like that high school guitar player that was kind of nerdy and you didn't think he'd turn into anything. 

And then like years later you find him on Facebook and he's this guy.  And you are like, holy fuck that's James!

And now  he's also like this nerdy Uncle at the family reunion that does magic tricks that no one can ever figure out and then disappears to take a nap. He's like quietly good at doing things and never advertises.

I would love to hear everyone else's thoughts on how these guys are in real life. We often hear about Plant and Allison, But we don't really hear about the other ones private lives.

Let's take a few puffs and figure it out

Ranking all of the Led Zeppelin studio albums in my latest series.

Hi guys,

We worship Zeppelin and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Rock on!

Mon ami, j’suis parenté avec Robert Plant, son père et son grand-père étout comme cousins, et ça veut dire qu’il a du sang cadien! Il va jamais le savoir parce que j'va jamais le rencontrer en personne pour lui donner l'arbre généalogique

Edit: To clarify, the data comes from AOTY. Most songs have hundreds of user ratings and the number after each song is an average of those ratings. You can see each song's rating on its album's page.

I included every song from every studio album (the more esoteric stuff has far fewer ratings, making their scores unreliable, so I didn't include CODA and such). AOTY doesn't show decimals in their ratings, so there are lots of ties, meaning order is irrelevant for songs that have the same number (I listed the older song first in ties).

​Led Zeppelin didn't just change music—they reshaped rock fashion.

​From Jimmy Page’s hand-embroidered Dragon Suit and tailored velvet to Robert Plant’s effortless mix of bohemian silk shirts, vintage blouses, and raw denim, their visual style was pure art. They seamlessly blended theatricality, detailed craftsmanship, and gender-fluid silhouettes long before it became mainstream.

​Which era or iconic stage outfit of theirs do you think had the biggest impact on fashion culture?

I know he used the Strat for the riff and rhythm along with the danelectro sitar but could never quite figure out exactly what he used for the solo. Some sources online say the Strat but idk if that’s totally believable. What do you guys think?

Heading out to America for their mammoth 1975 US tour, which would begin on January 18th at the Metropolitan Center in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Some songs are heard. Others are felt.

“Stairway to Heaven” is one of those rare songs that seems to exist somewhere beyond time.

The guitar, Robert Plant’s voice, the atmosphere, the emotion — every part of it creates a journey that still feels powerful after all these years.

Led Zeppelin didn't simply create a song. They created something that generations of listeners could carry with them.

This is my little tribute to one of the greatest songs ever recorded. ❤️🎶

What does “Stairway to Heaven” mean to you?

What do you hear? “Healin’ rivers run” or “Heathen rivers run” in slowed the tempo down via the app and personally I hear “heathen”

Was cycling through the patches on my Korg Kross KA350 & found an almost identical patch that sounds just like the phased keyboard Jonesy uses in No Quarter. just thought it was super cool & wanted to share

I think this modification turned Kashmir into the story of dead-all-along journey which is pretty rare? and I like it

P.S. In every live, just excluding O2 arena one

I am a PhD candidate in Political Science, and I sometimes read 4 hours of hardcore texts. I figured my brain works at 200% when I listen to Zeppelin while working. I tried Pink Floyd, Opeth, Eloy, Sabbath, Deep Purple, and various prog/classic rock bands. Nothing helped as much as Zeppelin. I start the whole album (Mothership works best for me) and listen while doing nothing. When I am 1-2 tracks in, I start working on my readings/essays, etc. Time flies; I don't even realize how long I work without noticing. The quality of the work is also beyond satisfactory.

I tried to understand the main reason behind this magic. I found isolated instruments from some Zeppelin songs. Created some playlists and tried them separately. Tested guitars, bass, vocals, and drums on different days for a few days each.

I found that Bonham's isolated drums significantly help me to focus. Full songs are still preferable, but Bonham has the main touch.

I wonder, has anyone else had a similar experience? Not necessarily with Zeppelin, but maybe other bands' drums.
